Flashes of Light
A singular fleck of light, like the first star in the evening sky. Your heart beating life bright against the dark of the doctors monitor- the purest joy I have ever known.
The two of you; two bright, whirling, twirling stars blazing through my life, lighting up corners I had never thought to explore; slowing me down to look closer at dandelions and under rocks. You taught me what living is. When time floats away and we are simply here together in the long grass until dew rises from the earth and barefoot we return and return. Deeply embodied, rooted in the earth, as free as the birds above; we fly.
